New Car: 2013 Bugatti Veyron Legend

Bugatti has revealed the first of six 'Legend' editions it plans to
launch over the next 12 months. The Bugatti Legend "Jean-Pierre
Wimille", to give it its full name, will make its debut at the Pebble
Beach Concours d'Elegance on August 18.

Named after one of Bugatti's most famous factory drivers -
Jean-Pierre Wimmile, who won the Le Mans 24hr in 1937 and 1939 - the
special edition takes inspiration from his 1937 winning car, the 57G
Tank, which wore a racing blue paint finish for the historic race.

The blue colour scheme is echoed on the Veyron with a combination of
blue clear-coated carbon-fibre and a light 'Willmille Bleu' paintwork
finish. The blue colour scheme continues on the leather and dash.

Only three units of the Jean-Pierre Wilmille car will be built, while
all six special editions will be based on the roofless Veyron Vitesse -
the world fastest open-top car with a record-setting top speed of
254mph. There are no mechanical changes to the 1183bhp 8.0-litre W16
engine, so it's still capable of 0-62mph in 2.6 seconds.

Dr. Wolfgang Schreiber, President of Bugatti said: “This brand has
been in large part defined by outstanding personalities and historically
resonant moments. We want to tell the story of the brand through these
Bugatti legends, and at the same time create a link between its past and
presence.”
There's no word on prices yet, but if you're interested don't expect change from £2 million. For more details click here.
